The fine dining restaurant and cocktail lounge kicked off its soft opening Saturday, June 6, at 155 New Bern Street. The space was most recently home to Link & Pin<\/b>, which shuttered its flagship restaurant<\/a> in early 2025 after five years in business, CharlotteFive previously reported.<\/p>\n

Link & Pin\u2019s other locations \u2014 in Huntersville and at The Arboretum Shopping Center in South Charlotte \u2014 are still open.<\/p>\n

Zamindar\u2019s draws on the nostalgia of royal houses, grandiose feasts and gatherings of \u201cIndia\u2019s yesteryears,\u201d according to a restaurant description.<\/p>\n

The 7,500-square-foot space includes a 65-seat dining room that feels \u201cmore traditionally Indian,\u201d<\/a> plus a swanky cocktail lounge called Regiment One55<\/b> inspired by British colonial-era social clubs, Axios Charlotte reported.<\/p>\n

The restaurant\u2019s outdoor patio, dotted with colorful planters and umbrellas, also seats up to 30 people.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is something I\u2019ve been planning and putting together for the last 10 years,\u201d owner David Pandoria told CharlotteFive. \u201cThis is a dream I\u2019ve had for quite some time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pandoria made a name for himself as a DJ before stepping into sales leadership roles with Fortune 500 companies. It was a life-changing cancer diagnosis in 2023 that led him to pivot from corporate life and pursue his passion for food and hospitality.<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t give up; anything can happen\u201d Pandoria said, adding that he hopes his story is an inspiration to others.<\/p>\n

Michelin-Bib Gourmand Chef Vamshi Adi<\/b> is at the helm of Zamindar\u2019s culinary experience.<\/p>\n

Adi opened his first restaurant, Gazab<\/a>, near New York City\u2019s East Village in 2021, followed by the debut of Ishq<\/a> in 2024. Now, Charlotteans can get a first taste of his contemporary take on traditional Indian dishes.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t come to Charlotte to open another Indian restaurant<\/a>,\u201d Adi said in a video shared to the restaurant\u2019s Instagram page. \u201cI came to change what people expect from Indian food.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re bringing flavors inspired by royal kitchens, street food, regional specialties and recipes that most people outside India have never experienced,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Menu highlights include:<\/p>\n

Zamindar\u2019s official grand opening is slated for the weekend of June 27, Pandoria said. Reservations will open a week in advance.<\/p>\n
